Mount and Blade

Even the dragon flame seemed to have been upgraded inexplicably. Green was a little confused and quickly drank up a bowl of thick soup.

After a short rest for a few days, Kadi seemed to have new moves to make. Now the war with Midland was not so tight, and Jodah ordered him to go to the Northern Ocean country-Grant. [The place name comes from the novel of the Flame Dragon Knight]

It has been 13 years since the establishment of Chertle City, and the existence of the Flame Dragon Knight has been stationed in the "Fire Dragon's Nest" to resist Jodah for 9 years.

Kadi's performance on the Midland battlefield was too good, and the entire Jodah's intelligence organization was completely under Kadi's control.

When Green heard it inadvertently, he couldn't help but feel a chill. If all this was true, then it would be a foolish dream to escape from Kadi's control, because Jodah's spies were everywhere, like maggots attached to bones and shadows.

Green stood up and walked out of the tavern. The air outside was fresh and cold. He took a deep breath, trying to make his mind clearer. He must always be fully prepared, because the next journey will definitely be more difficult.

Green walked back to his room and began to organize his equipment with Baziso. They will soon follow Kadi to Grant. It is said that the winter there is more damp and cold than in Jodah and Midland. I hope the fur coats bought in Wyndham are enough to resist the cold.

Tonight, Jodah's spy and Green and others who are preparing to set off for Grant have all received a detailed internal intelligence about Grant.

The Grand Duchy of Grant is a small island country. It only takes three days to cross the two farthest sections by relaying horses. There are not even more than 100,000 people, and the total military force of the country is only about 18,000.

But such a small island country has given Jodah a headache for more than ten years. The advantage is nothing more than its unique geographical environment.

The "Fire Dragon's Nest" is located in the six bastions at the plain of the volcanic pass. It is the only traffic route to the Grant capital, Norudkahuati. It is guarded by a young and brave warrior named Gurunberudo Alukuvist as the commander. He has the characteristics of the sea bear clan, flaming red hair and eyebrows, and a very tall and strong body, which makes him known as a giant.

There are a total of 8,000 troops stationed in the "Fire Dragon's Nest". Among them, there are 3,000 Gurunberudo's legion. 1,000 cavalry equipped with chariots, known as the Flame Dragon Knights. The remaining 2,000 people are led by a female thousand-man commander named Shikel, known as the Flame Dragon Infantry Regiment.

The other 5,000 people are the guards led by the elderly General Kirstin, who are stationed in the "Fire Dragon's Nest" all year round.

Gurunberudo has a boy named Edward as the think tank of the legion, who is also the son of Grand Duke Hekun of Grant.

It is said that Gurenberudo, Shekel, and Edward had formed a deep friendship when they were captured in Chert of Jodah. The emotions and ties between the three of them are unbreakable.

...It's not easy to start.

From the experience of many years of combat, it takes at least ten times the combat power to attack from the outside. And it is almost impossible to divide and alienate from the inside of the "Fire Dragon's Nest".

Green couldn't help but frown, and was a little curious about where Kadi would start. There have been too many Jodah spies compromised in the past nine years, but there are also many dormant ones. The oldest has been infiltrated for seven years, so there is the intelligence information in the hands of Green and others today.

Even if the same trick is used as usual, it can only take down a bastion of the "Fire Dragon's Nest".

Green guessed that Kadi would definitely choose to disintegrate from the inside, but... this is also as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Green carefully studied the map and thought about Kadi's possible offensive strategy. He realized that Grant was small, but its geographical location made it easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the volcano as its supply line and cover, it was a strategic pass that could be blocked by one man and ten thousand men.

The Flame Dragon Infantry Regiment was not even equipped with shields. A two-handed sword was enough to chop down countless Joda soldiers who tried to climb the wall. Its four-sided cannon on the bastion was an excellent weapon for defending the city against large-scale sieges.

However, Kadi was always cunning, and perhaps he had found a breakthrough point.

As for what kind of breakthrough point it was, Green felt that he would not be able to think of it even if he racked his brains.

However, the beginning of a new journey always made Green feel a little insomniac.

[Fantasy Continent - Barkley]

After several attempts, the Snake Cult finally tried to take the initiative to attack. They were like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow.

After several small-scale conflicts, they finally began to take the initiative to attack, trying to break the long-standing deadlock.

First, the Python Super Heavy Knights broke up the coalition's formation, and some of the small lords in the coalition quickly collapsed under the impact of the Python Knights.

Then, the Python Super Heavy Knights pretended to retreat to lure the small legions led by the small lords who were gradually organizing a counterattack. They pursued angrily, but they didn't know that they were stepping into a carefully laid trap.

In the dense forest, the Cobra Infantry and Viper Shadow Walkers have been lurking for a long time. Their figures blend into the surrounding environment and are almost unnoticeable. The weapons in their hands are coated with deadly snake venom. As long as they come into contact with the enemy's blood, they can cause poisoning and death. These snake venoms are the results of years of research by the priestesses of the Snake Cult, and their effects are horrifying.

The Cobra Knights and Viper Heavy Archers are waiting for their prey behind the wide hills. Even if Barclay's soldiers survived the battlefield by chance, they could not escape the deadly and fierce snake venom.

When Barclay's soldiers fought hard on the battlefield, and some tried to escape from the impact of the Python Knights, a more deadly threat was waiting for them.

The Cobra Knights and Viper Heavy Archers soon appeared on the battlefield in large numbers, and their bows and spears were also coated with snake venom. Even the deserters who were lucky enough not to die under the iron hoof of the giant python knights could hardly escape the omnipresent, poisonous shadow of death.

After experiencing the initial chaos and panic, the soldiers from Pence and Rose Castle gradually stabilized their positions and regained their positions under Trunks' call. Having fought against the Snake Cult many times, they knew that they must not be swallowed by fear. They must unite and fight against the invasion of the Snake Cult together to have hope of survival.

"Fire!!"

With Trunks' order, rows of black steel gun barrels were aimed at the giant python super heavy knights who were preparing to break out.
